Abstract:
We have experienced a rare case of multicentric intraosseous well differentiated osteosarcoma originating in the left 7th and 9th rib. A 35-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with slowly growing mass of the left chest wall. From radiographic appearance the mass was suspected multicentric tumor of bone originating from the left 7th and 9th rib, and from needle biopsy the mass was suspected giant cell tumor of bone. Tumors were completely resected en bloc, and chest wall defect was covered with Marlex mesh. Pathological diagnosis was multicentric intraosseous well differentiated osteosarcoma originating in the left 7th and 9th rib. At 8 months after operation, the patient is doing well and there is no evidence of recurrence and lung metastasis.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Spongy Bone
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
